The Globe

Alex and I saw Timon of Athens at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre last night. I can't say that it was my favorite play, but the venue was incredible! The wooden replica has three galleries, a concrete floor, is open to the sky and sits, romantically, on the south bank of the River Thames. The original playhouse was built 400+ years ago, but you can be sure we had some true-to-life "special effects" with only the occasional breeze to provide a breath of fresh air! I will truly miss all the historic treasures right at our fingertips!!
